Balka: Hotels and accommodations

Balka Beach is considered a several-kilometre-long beach with very fine sand and shallow water. Balka is located on the southwest coast of the Danish island of Bornholm and is a small seaside resort between Nexø and Snogebæk.

The beach is protected from the prevailing westerly wind in summer. A path and a wooden ramp connect it to the car park on Frederiksvej. At the Balka end of the beach, there is a mini-golf course, toilets and car parks; the shallow water and gentle waves support family-friendly use of the beach.

Activities on the water at Balka Beach include pedal boats and windsurfing equipment rental.
